What is a Platelet-Rich Plasma Facial?
PRP facials are often preferred to other skin rejuvenation procedures since it uses your body’s natural healing ability. As the name suggests, the high concentration of platelets triggers the formation of active proteins to encourage healing cytokine production. These vampire facials are not cosmetic procedures. They are considered medical procedures since they require a sample of your blood to formulate the platelet-rich plasma.
A PRP facial is a minimally invasive procedure that treats a number of skin concerns. We will extract the platelets from your blood and apply them to your skin via a blunt cannula positioned under your skin. The platelet-rich plasma
How Does the PRP Facial Work?
One way to apply the platelet-rich plasma is through a process called a vampire facial. During a vampire facial, the platelet-rich plasma is injected deep into your skin with a long needle known as a blunt cannula. This method is highly effective since it targets the surface of your skin and its deeper layers.
The Benefits of a PRP Facial
Vampire facials are effective for people with wrinkles, acne scars, sun spots, and many other skin concerns. When we inject the platelet-rich plasma into your skin, it encourages the production of collagen and elastin. These proteins help keep your skin tight and smooth. As you get older, your body stops producing as much collagen and elastin. That is why platelet-rich plasma is so effective at combating the signs of aging.
PRP treatments can be combined with other treatments like Botox® and dermal fillers. This will provide a full treatment of wrinkles, loss of facial volume, and loose skin. Platelet-rich plasma therapy can transform your face and give you younger-looking skin. Since a PRP facial relies on your body’s healing and collagen production, there is no chance of having an allergic reaction to a foreign substance. This procedure is non-surgical and requires minimal downtime. The sessions are not uncomfortable and won’t take long to complete.
The PRP Procedure
You may be wondering how this procedure takes place since we extract your blood and alter it to create platelet-rich plasma. Well, we start by drawing blood and using centrifugation to separate the platelets from the rest of your blood. This process increases the concentration of platelets.
Once the platelets are extracted from your blood, they are either injected into your skin or applied to the surface. If platelet-rich plasma is applied to your skin, we will then use microneedling to create tiny channels for it to be absorbed. This will cause an immediate response as your body rapidly tries to heal the tiny wounds.
Ideal Candidates
PRP facials are safe and effective. Since it uses your own blood, this treatment can be used on most skin types and tones. If you are looking for a simple skin rejuvenation treatment, platelet-rich plasma therapy is ideal for you.

Do not be despondent if your results aren’t noticeable in a few days. This treatment is highly effective and becoming increasingly popular.
